stay on page when logging in

[joey]

On trainsignal.com when a user is on a products page and logs in, they get redirected back to the home page. Is there any way that a user can remain in the page they logged in on?

You can try following trick, first create a user control under ConLib/Custom folder

Code: Select all

<%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="LoginUtil" %>

<script runat="server">
    
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        LoginURL.Visible = Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous;
        LogoutURL.Visible = !Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous;
    }
    
    protected void LoginURL_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToLower().Contains("product.aspx"))
        {
            Product product = ProductDataSource.Load(PageHelper.GetProductId());
            if(product != null)
                Response.Redirect(string.Format("Login.aspx?ReturnUrl={0}", product.NavigateUrl));
        }
        Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
    }
   
</script>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LoginURL" runat="server" CssClass="login" onclick="LoginURL_Click">Login</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:HyperLink ID="LogoutURL" runat="server" CssClass="login" NavigateUrl="~/Logout.aspx">Logout</asp:HyperLink>

Then edit your header scriptlet and locate following code

Code: Select all

#if($customer.IsAnonymous)
					<a href="~/Login.aspx" class="login">Login</a>
				#else
					<a href="~/Logout.aspx" class="login">Logout</a>
				#end

and update it [[ConLib:Custom\LoginUtil]]

Thank you for the help, I could be wrong but it seems that this solution will only work if you are on a product page, am I correct? I was hoping that I could get something working on any page on the entire site, such as the product categories or some of the custom content pages.

For any page try by updating LoginURL_Click to

Code: Select all

protected void LoginURL_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect(string.Format("Login.aspx?ReturnUrl={0}", Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString()));
    }

Works like a charm.

In onepagecheckout.ascx.cs, can I replace the returnurl in the following lines to what you specified in this post ReturnUrl={0}", Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString()));? This is release 7.0.3.

Code: Select all

        if (editBilling && isAnonymous)
        {
            LoginPanel.Visible = true;
            LoginLink.NavigateUrl = "~/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=" + Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
        }

And what about login.aspx which returns the user to the last page only in admin. I find the following code in login.aspx.

Code: Select all

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string returnUrl = NavigationHelper.GetReturnUrl(string.Empty);
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl))
        {
            if (returnUrl.ToLowerInvariant().Contains("/admin/"))
            {

                Response.Redirect(NavigationHelper.GetAdminUrl("Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=" + Server.UrlEncode(returnUrl)));
            }
        }
    }

and the following in logindialog.ascx.cs.

Code: Select all

    private bool _EnableAdminRememberMe = true;
    public bool EnableAdminRememberMe
    {
        get { return _EnableAdminRememberMe; }
        set { _EnableAdminRememberMe = value; }
    }

If I change login.aspx will it always return the user to the page they were on no matter what it was?
